5 Lots of Mexicans. I've been to a few national matches, and I've never seen the Americans have an edge in fans. The fans that do show, however, are fantastic.
After checking, it is indeed Spector/ Onyewu on the right side. I have never been impressed with Onyewu, and this match is further testament to that. Somewhere, Jimmy Conrad is shaking his head.
Wow, what a crazy fantastic game. (I just watched it on TiVo.) That was indeed an amazing turnaround in the second half. Mexico, especially in the first half of the first half, were much more energized. Their keeper Sanchez was also amazing. What a great second half by the US, and some good substitutions I thought.
Yeah, Ching missed a chipper but I wouldn't blame him too much - he did what he had to do, made a nice turnaround move, and then chipped it over the keeper like he should have, but it just missed. Beasley, on the other hand, choked, pure and simple - there's no way on God's green astroturf that you should miss a shot like that. No matter, they won.
My Lord, does Mexico flop or what? It's so unnecessary because they have many great players, there's no need to audition for Broadway on some of those. More dives in that game than in a Greg Louganis retrospective. Drives me nuts. When the US and Canada played there were hardly any questionable falls and theatrics.
Btw, maybe this is just me but that announcer for Fox Soccer is really terrible. He's not only a pro-US homer (I guess that's forgivable - trying to get American audiences more involved in it all) but more annoying is how many wrong things he says. The other guy just ignored him half the time. It reminded me of Fred Willard and the British guy in Best in Show for some reason. I don't remember being that annoyed by him before, though.

Not getting Klinsmann really chaps my hide. All these athletes we have would attack, attack, attack.
I'm still waiting on why we didn't get Klinsmann. I haven't heard a good explanation.
Pay the man whatever he wants.
22 I think you're right, but I refuse that we can't pay. Unacceptable.
And Mexico continues to outrun us in their scoring end
Sometimes I hate being right.
Sigh. I want energy.
Fixed.
This
Brilliant turn by Ching.
DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET YOU CHEATING EXPLETIVES? YOU GET DONOVAN'S SILLY PK ROUTINE!!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
MUCH. ANGER.
MEXICO 1
And Ching goes post. Near goal.
Claudio Reyna: USMNT:: Nomar Garciaparra: Los Angeles Dodgers.
DAMMIT CHING!
That is absolutely spot on.
Beasley is an amazingly maddening player.
God DAMN BEASLEY. Finish. We will never be an international power with these finishes.
I don't know when, but someday.
What a complete turnaround from one half to another.
